Elevate Salon provides great service. Everyone is friendly and attentive. I love how my hair looks and feels after my appointment. Morgan is awesome!
Consistently amazing service. Maura is the best. Have gotten every kind of haircut and multiple color treatments and loved them al.
Left happy AGAIN after a cut from Andrea. Love her!
I love this salon! Not only is it an amazing local business, it's staff are so kind, the products are there own and it's exceptionally clean.
Andrea is amazing! Going to the salon is fun! I love change and hair is a great way to express change. Andrea listens, offers advice and the results are always perfection!
I have never left a salon happy with my haircut. I’ve never left a salon happy. I’ve been judged for person things. I cut my own hair and dyed it for over 7 years because of an incident. I’ve been full of anxiety to go somewhere else and have the same thing happen. After getting my hair dyed and cut today… I…
It was my first time at Elevate salon and I’m so happy with my results. The salon is beautiful and there was so much hospitality there I got coffee there was snacks and everyone was so nice. Demie was amazing and she did a great job. I already booked my next appointment
Greta experience with Andrea! She was friendly, kind and made the experience and haircut exactly what I wanted
I cannot say enough lovely things about Andrea and the crew at Elevate. She gave my teenager the hot pink hair of their dreams- we will be back again and again and again. Thank you!
Morgan is fantastic! Highly recommend
Angi listened and worked with me to develop a style. She touched up my roots and cut my hair. I was very happy with the experience.
Andrea is fantastic with fine, short hair. Best color and cut I’ve had in years. Love going to her!
Rachel was wonderful! She definitely knows her color - she matched my color and gave me more than I could have hoped for! Professional, confident and absolutely lovely! She ‘read’ my hair like pro (because is!) and it shows in the results! Thank you Rachel! It was a great experience and I will feel good in my hair…
I've only had positive experiences at Elevate! Both Hannah and Madison have taken incredible care of my hair, from significant length changes to my first-ever hair color appointment. I have referred multiple friends because they do such a great job, and the atmosphere is bright and welcoming.
Love love love Elevate and Natalie! Reasonable prices and amazing talent!
Demie is great!
Wonderful experience and lovely staff! Will be a customer for life! Finding someone who understands curly hair can be a chore but this place is hands down the best!
Love visiting Elevate and love the care Demie takes of me!
Demie is an absolute delight and incredible at her craft. It’s such a relaxing and FUN atmosphere. All the stylists chat together and I always look forward to coming in. Demie is great but I can tell that all the stylists and clients are just happy to be there whenever I’m there for my color
I’ve received cut, color, and waxing services, plus purchased top quality haircare products, from this kind and talented staff for 9 years! I highly recommend Elevate to all. I always leave the salon looking (and feeling!) way better than when I came in.
Perfect color match
DO NOT COME HERE FOR COLOR CORRECTIONS I am from NJ and recently moved to VA. After moving I decided I no longer wanted to keep up with the maintenance to dye my hair the beloved red I’ve been dying it for upwards of 15+ years with my stylist in NJ. I reached out to elevate for a color correction back to my natural…
Natalie is the best hair stylist in Charlottesville. I have been getting my hair cut and colored by her for several years now, and I highly recommend her services. 10/10
Hannah is so so kind and welcoming. She was incredibly sweet and cut and colored my hair beautifully ❤️
This place is a gem. The staff are expert, welcoming and fun! They carefully listen and work to provide exactly what you ask for and more. I also enjoy the assortment of snacks and delicious coffee! Rachel
Morgan is the best stylist I know! I trust her knowledge and expertise and have never been disappointed!
I was very impressed with Maura’s hair coloring and hair cut/styling skills. She did an excellent job, and I left 100% satisfied. I have already scheduled my next appointment.
Mei has been coloring my hair for the past 3 years and I couldn’t be happier. She nails it every time and I always leave very happy with my experience and the end result!
Rachel gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had. She took her time and it shows. My hair is fine and lacks anything resembling body. Her pixie cut gave it great shape; so easy to style, too.
I am so happy with my first visit to Elevate Salon + Spa! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Raven did a wonderful job with my color and haircut. Looking forward to going back in a few months.
I love their text system which makes reminders and even adjusting appointments so easy and Mei Leigh is always friendly and helpful. It’s a great place to spend the time pampering yourself.
Thank you Rachel for the haircut and color. I love it!
I've been going to Elevate Salon and Spa for almost 4 years. Demie is an amazing and talented stylist. I always leave there feeling like a new person. Every stylist is extremely knowledgeable, skillful and fun to be around. I've had many services from extensions, color changes, root touch up, eyebrows and several…
Absolutely loved the entire experience!
I go to Mei for haircuts and to get rid of my grays and she always nails it! She’s worked with me to get it exactly how I want and it looks great every time! I always enjoy my appointments with her because she’s so sweet and fun to talk to, and I genuinely leave feeling better about myself. She’s absolutely fabulous and I can’t recommend her enough!
I found Jess at Elevate a little more than a year ago. My experience with her has been nothing short of amazing! From our initial consultation and throughout the cuts and colors of the last year, Jess has been insightful, mindful and Always listens!! Can't say enough about mu wonderful Stylist and this beautiful salon 😍!
Amazing salon with 5 ⭐️ stylists. Jess you rock. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved going here!! My hair was cut and colored by Mei Leigh and she did a fabulous job! Shes so kind and fun to talk to. I couldn’t stop admiring and touching my hair for the rest of the day. She really listened to exactly what I wanted and even offered great suggestions for us to do with my hair when I…
Justin is fabulous, i went in with a big ask of going blonde, and he did it. Took a lot of time, but he did not rush it and I am really happy with it. Cannot wait to go back! They have amazing snacks as well! So helpful when there for a long time 😊
I’ve been coming here for years and I think this latest appointment has been the best one yet. I really appreciate Jessica for helping me and giving me suggestions for my hair cuts. Curly hair isn’t the easiest to deal with.
Elevate is the best. I’ve been coming to them for years. Angie has always colored my hair and done a fantastic job. Do yourself a favor and go.
Jessica did a great job. She was very attentive, asked questions, and listened. I love my color and cut.
Always a wonderful experience here.
Elevate is the most amazing salon in Charlottesville. You are treated as if you are royalty !
My daughter is very particular about her hair...VERY..meaning 9/10 cuts she dislikes for whatever reason. Mei Leigh did my daughters hair and she raved about it alllllllll the way home which was 1 and a half hrs away. She listened to everything my daughter wanted and delivered!!!! Was it pricey, absolutely. Was in…
Angelia did amazing and exactly what I wanted! There all very sweet and accommodating. The salon is very clean and probably the nicest one ive been too. I will be returning!
Mei Leigh is fantastic! Young and very current on new techniques and trends. Spent time discussing options to get the results I wanted. Very nice salon. Have scheduled my next appointment and will be a regular.
I just wanna say, I turned heads this morning at the gym, and people came up to me literally saying “I just love ❤️ your hair!” Thank you, Morgan! 🌟
Anna is an amazing stylist. She really gets to know her customers and works with them to create the best results.
I had a great experience here. Natalie did great with my hair, it’s thick and been colored a darker color in the past. She did the exact type of partial blonding and dimension that I wanted. She was also able to wax my eyebrows. My eyebrows are not tame and she did an excellent shape with them. It was more expensive…
Worth the money! Anna always exceeds my expectations. The place feels so welcoming and cozy too. Highly recommend coming here if you are skeptical about who touches your hair!
I came to Elevate with help needed with my hair. I had always taken the more cost effective route and hadn’t liked my hair in a few years. I scheduled an appointment with Elevate where they reached out a few weeks before and asked for what I was looking for. The communication was nothing I experienced before. I knew…
Best cut and color, matched inspo exactly and super sweet staff! Ask for Maura!!
Morgan is the best! Her attention to detail is nothing but perfect. Such a fun place to spend the day and accommodating if having to work while getting your hair done! Great place so happy to have found this place and will continue my services always
I get my hair done by Maura and I would 10/10 recommend her. She does a full dimensional blond and she really knocks it out of the park. I ask for a blond that’s not too warm, not too cool that grows out well and she does that perfectly. I can go 6 months between color appointments and my hair still looks good! I’d…
Angelia has been doing my long haircuts and balayage for four years. I’m obsessed! The blending is always perfect in my baby-fine hair.
I've been going here to see Jessica for many years for cuts and Balayage. She does a fantastic job! It's a great salon!
I love this salon (great environment!), and Nicole is the best stylist I have ever worked with in my life. Perfect highlights. She’s wonderful. I’ve been going to her at Elevate since moving to C’ville in summer 2023. Shameless photo of my hair in the salon bathroom after she did a partial highlight back in September.
Rachel did an amazing job with my cut and color! She really listened to me and asked a ton of questions about what I wanted and even suggested I try curtain bangs to help with some of my ends that have been a bit damaged. I love the cut and my hair feels so healthy. Also love that she gave me a nice root shadow to…
I am thrilled. Morgan was excellent. She is very skilled and knowledgeable. I absolutely love my color and can’t wait to go back for my extensions!
